The only problem? You get a beeper and have to pick him up in 30 minutes which we all know is never long enough to shop at all three stories of Ikea. Maybe you can dress him in an other outfit and get an other half hour for him. Then he can pay for your purchases and load the stuff into your car.

Does your man whine and cry and cuss until you leave, when you are busy shopping at Ikea?

HA! This is awesome. My other half HATES Ikea and either rushes me through it or he takes off to the book store next door. Even at that, he comes back from the book store and huffs and puffs cause we arent done yet.

My boyfriend LOOOVES ikea. He likes that it has so much stuff, and cheap so I dont buy a billion things that cost 80 dollars each. And I usually buy him a ice cream cone or something as we leave. So thats a plus.

i'm not sure how I feel about this. It reenforces the stereotype that only women like shopping, and men have to be dragged around; it also kind of treats men like kids and their wives like moms because they have to be monitored with a beeper and they have to be 'picked up' in a sense. so yeah, I was kind of hoping something a little bit better from IKEA.

I agree with you on that one, it's sexist if you ask me...

On the other hand, if I lived in the area I'd probably put on the guy clothes, grab a female friend, and have her shop around while I enjoyed free games and food...

You know, I thought this was funny as hell until I read your post.

You make an excellent point, and I concur.

I wonder if it is doing wonders for them marketing wise, though. Seems like marketing requires stooping to all sorts of lows---at least from what I am learning in some of my classes.

My husband and I have only been to IKEA once. We spent about 10 minutes looking around, and then another 30 trying to find the exit.
I would never drop him off at a 'manland'. I know I would never find him again, let alone the exit.
